This implies that Meta doesn't make money outside of EU by exfiltrating EU users' data.

If Meta made zero money in EU whilst still offering a service to EU users, and still exfiltrating their data, should the fine be zero?



Even if the calculations for how to attribute income from different places would be difficult to decide upon precisely, and doubly so if the calculations are used to determine a penalty fine thanks to the possibility of being gamed, it can probably be guessed at without too much error in cases where Goodhart's Law doesn't bite.


How does anyone make money with EU data outside the EU? Seems like the value of that data is trivial anywhere else.
